The Pew Environmental Group has pried information from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that shows Chilean salmon farmers have been feeding banned drugs to their livestock.

The pens in question were not mom-and-pop operations but owned by two top fish farm companies, including the biggest of all, Marine Harvest.

Drugs found in salmon included emamectin benzoate, oxolinic acid, and flumequine. All three have been banned in feed in the U.S. and in food imported into the U.S.
